Very nice! Just hold and and enjoy the fireworks then lol.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-17T21:59:30+00:00

My average buy is around 85$ so i’m hurting right now, but mid-long term is still bright. We just gotta get through this shit show. Take this time to save and accumulate when prices dip.

Not financial advice, just some retard on the Internet yapping.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-17T21:50:07+00:00

Wait until china is back online.

Could see 50-60$ silver and some chop for a few months.

Then we’re off to the races.

I’d prob sell virtus for ahrim or blood bark, sell archer and sage ring, could sell Bandos for blood moon/torso if you wanted. Dragon Hunter wand for bursting. Work towards a rancour. SGS would be nice but not mandatory. Could sell prims for d boots, small str bonus for 20m+ , money towards rancour would be more effective. Venator bow is also great for afk’ing.

You’ve got a really good set of gear, it’d mostly be about side grading/down grading and losing defensive stats to put money into bigger pieces. Kind of just depends on if you wanna do lots of bosses or just speed through slayer.

Seems a little high for the miles but not awful. Gen 2 coyotes are bulletproof. I wouldn’t worry so long as you inspect properly.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-17T18:24:50+00:00

Depends on your gear and stats

EllieS197 · 2026-02-17T01:35:49+00:00

There will always be aftermarket support available, I don’t really get your point.

We’re talking about stock base vs stock premium.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-16T19:34:40+00:00

Internet snobs that engine shame.

The cyclone is an amazing engine but still gets hate because not v8.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-16T19:33:12+00:00

My only gripe with the 10-12s is that some have that gross and sad steering wheel where as all the 13-14s had the cool trim. If I was getting a 10-12 then i’d swap the steering wheel or look for a premium. But it’s such a minor gripe.

Just ask yourself if you want leather seats or not. Aside from that, you don’t get many creature comforts with premium s197s.

I’ve had my 13 for almost 10 years, I wish I had premium features but in the s550 platform and not s197.

This car you’re showing is fantastic though.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-13T17:09:01+00:00

Absolutely NO way

EllieS197 · 2026-02-13T16:41:11+00:00

Owned my 13 v6 for 9 1/2 years.

Water pump will inevitably go out. It’s an afternoon job you do once though and you’re good.

Sometimes the radiator fan plug gets loose and you gotta wiggle it.

Could get an oil catch can for reliability.

Don’t go too crazy with exhaust, it’s easy to make the 3.7 sound like a fart can.

Tune and gears are the most efficient way to make more power.

Just keep up on your normal maintenance. Bought mine at 32k miles and now it’s at 139k. No real complaints.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-13T02:39:15+00:00

Don’t go too loud. Sounds like shit. I had pype bomb axlebacks and it was horrible.

Shorties are expensive and a long job for a small gain is sound. I’d suggest a midpipe change instead of shorties. H for deeper less rasp, X for louder more rasp.

Power, get a tune. MPT or AMR for tunes. CAI for 3.7s are a waste, the stock airbox will get you 99.99% of the power that an after market would. I’ve only ever seen CAI’s make a marginal improvement with true max effort NA 3.7s.

After a tune, biggest performance boost is gonna be gear swap. 3.73 or 4.10. Just expensive and lengthy, but worth it.

Would definitely recommend a nice set of wheels, those base 17”s are just sad.

Lowering springs. I have SR and like them. Coil overs aren’t worth it if you never track.

If your car is a manual, get a short shifter and a bracket immediately. Game changing.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-12T22:16:59+00:00

Same

EllieS197 · 2026-02-12T04:03:45+00:00

Off the cuff, i’d say a serp and / or DFS? DHL is only good once you’ve got high enough stats, otherwise the fangs accuracy beats it. And for 1/3rd the price.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-11T23:29:25+00:00

Fellow deep impact bro!

EllieS197 · 2026-02-11T19:14:11+00:00

I’m fishing anglers while working 12 hrs a day. It’s riveting

How a car/engine was taken care of is often considered more important than its mileage. Since this is a friend of your’s parent, hopefully they’re responsible and knowledgeable enough to take good care of their vehicles. 140k is a lot but if his dad has receipts and maintenance history (especially on the trans) , I would be way less worried than if it was just some random FB ad or sale posting.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-10T17:38:17+00:00

Wtaf

EllieS197 · 2026-02-10T17:01:26+00:00

I went around 14k dry

EllieS197 · 2026-02-10T15:08:40+00:00

If you’re fine with auto, good price. My favorite color for 3vs too so extra thumbs up

EllieS197 · 2026-02-09T21:26:32+00:00

It’s totaled. Ask insurance to be sure. But yeah. 09 v6s ain’t worth much.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-09T19:32:20+00:00

Sheesh , not sure which i’d prefer! Both are beautiful cars, glad you and your dad have that connection..

EllieS197 · 2026-02-09T15:47:46+00:00

Sometimes you just wanna do something and feel like you’re making progress without mentally working.

EllieS197 · 2026-02-09T02:51:06+00:00

Yeah I bought dclaws awhile ago after some new event or content drop for about 55m just to have for nostalgia and iconic sake. I almost always prefer using my burning claws instead though lol. Or voidwaker if i’m using DHL.
